South Nashville Lyrics

I went downtown, it was just to ease my pain
I went downtown, it was just to ease my pain
I ended up out walkin' in the rain

I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I took my pistol and a hundred dollar bill
I had everything I needed to get me killed

Now the South side girls, they suit me just fine
South side girls, they suit me just fine
As long as I got money they don't whine
That's important you know

The devil lives on Lewis Street I swearSteve Earle - South Nashville - http://motolyrics.com/steve-earle/south-nashville-lyrics.html
He lives right down on Lewis Street I swear
I seen him rockin' in his rockin' chair

I start way up top of Lewis Street
And I walk down to the end
I start way up top and I walk down to the end
And I'm go way down in the bottoms [Incomprehensible]
And I come back up again

Now, Mama told me, Papa too
They both talked ‘til they turned blue
But I got them ol' South Nashville blues again
I can't be satisfied until they lock me up again
